Shadowfax replied to a thread Fyne 702 and 502sp in Fyne Audio

I did not get to compare the 502SPs to the 702s. I did get to hear the F1-8s and preferred the 502SPs. I guess it all comes down to your goals, room size and what you will drive them with. I will have to let those who heard both in question...

This nails it. We have both. The 702 is definitely better, but the 502SP remains the best value in the lineup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Shadowfax replied to a thread Fyne 702 and 502sp in Fyne Audio

The size and shape of the cabinet is what takes them to another level in a similar way the 502SPs do over the stock 502s. Also the Xovers are not 100% identical, but pretty close from what I have read. The 702 will probably play better in a...

Mike replied to a thread Lumin T3 in Lumin

I’m wondering if we can see Lumin come out with a replacement for the S1. Maybe something that isn’t Sabre based? Maybe something different like a R2R DAC. What’s the latest Wolfson like? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I don’t agree since the Alpha 2D’s work optimally at 500hz (not sure how that’s “bass” in their definition). But at least, as you said, you can move them if they don’t work out well. I think you’ll find a midrange suck out and find you have to...
